That's because 600,000 Ukrainian troops have been eliminated while Russia lost about 1/10th of that.

Who's telling the truth? We saw US satellite images of damaged Israeli hangars. So, SOME military equipment were destroyed. We just don't know if they include F-35s. But judging from the fact that Israel has not responded with massive air attacks could be because much of their air assets have been destroyed? I don't know. Time will tell.

@jeeterjuicez Because Russia's strategy is NOT "Shock and Awe" like the U.S. invasion of Iraq but slow grind. Why? 1) To deplete weapons of the West 2) They know the U.S. has a tendency to cut and run if the war drags out too long like in Afghanistan and Vietnam.

LoL, the U.S. couldn't even take Afghanistan - a Third World country!

I know a way of getting Russia to leave Ukraine without firing a shot: STOP EXPANDING NATO! Better yet: DISBAND NATO!

Why would China want to use their military when they can use their economic power to conquer the world? One thing Westerners fail to understand about Chinese thinking is that they attack you obliquely using slow but consistent psychological/social/ economic efforts over decades. Before you know it, your empire is collapsing all around you. That is exactly what is happening in the U.S. right now.

LoL....and how do you know all this? By watching Rambo and Top Gun that boost your ego and make you think America is invincible? 🤣🤣🤣

@John Smith YOU are in the wrong side of history! Russia was surrounded by NATO and Putin had tried EVERY DIPLOMATIC means FOR 30 YEARS to get the U.S. to stop expanding NATO closer and closer to Russia. What would you do if you were him? I tell you what, why don't you publish your address now so that thugs can come rob your house. Let's see if you don't act like Putin then!
4
Yep, that is what most Americans don't understand - this is about a fight for the U.S. to maintain global dominance. China had become so powerful economically that it is about to take over as the Number One economy in the world. This is why the U.S. must take it down.

@John Smith LoL....are you sure? U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence Officer AND United Nations weapons Inspector says otherwise: https://youtu.be/_DrqcrsM8yY

@mikhailv67 Agree that today's Russia is NOT the Soviets and is NOT an expanding Empire. Regardless, they have been obliterating Ukraine and there is nothing the U.S. or NATO can do to stop them, according to U.S. Army Colonel Doug McGreggor: https://youtu.be/UvHv3frgrx4 McGreggor was a battle tank Commander who led troops into battle in Iraq, so he knows war from real-world experience. He also holds a PhD in International Relations from the University of Virginia. In other words, he knows what he's talking about and what he says are factual, not propaganda.

@Kuro Usagi LoL...the entire U.S. government has been wrong about this war! How much you wanna bet that Ukraine will lose this war JUST AS RITTER SAID? Indeed, they ALREADY LOST as confirmed by Zelinsky himself when he said "give us more weapons now or your sons and daughters will have to fight Russia". Does that sound like a winning side talking?
3
@Kuro Usagi Like most people, sounds like you know nothing about what transpired for 30 years before Putin invaded Ukraine. All you know is he invaded a small country. So, of course you automatically think it's wrong and proudly sided with Ukraine / U.S.! But if you know what caused Putin to do that and, more importantly, what peaceful means he had tried for 30 years, you would understand why he's doing what he's doing. Don't let your American arrogance blind you from seeing the root cause of things.
3
@John Smith Who cares what excuses Putin gave for invading. U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union way back in the late 1980's PREDICTED that a war with Russia will result if NATO expands next to Russia: https://youtu.be/e5F0JSy-HHY At that time, Putin was just a young peon KGB agent - not in charge of anything! Even if Putin never became President of Russia, there would still be an invasion of Ukraine. What you don't understand is that the U.S. is an Empire and like all Empires, it must expand in ordercto dominate the world. But unlike other Empires throughout history, this Empire does it COVERTLY to make it look innocent and beneficial to the world. But in reality, it only benefits the U.S., particularly the Rulers in charge of the U.S. Not even the American people anymore. Think I am full of conspiracy theories? Take a look at a CIA agent who actually carried out covert U.S. policies to conquer the world: https://youtu.be/XWuAct1BxHU Understand that and you see very clearly who is at fault.

@jedrek kozbr9da Nah...the U.S. didn't kill any Polls but they killed close to 300,000 Iraqis in the 2003 invasion. And is Iraq located right next to the U.S.? Ukraine borders Russia where the U.S. can place missiles right up to it. Would you feel safe if your next door neighbor placed AR-15s right at the opposite side of your wall? How would you react knowing that he had already attacked other neighborhoods (Iraq, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, Syria, etc)?
3
The U.S. can't even take Third World Afghanistan after 20 years of fighting there.

Don't mistake the real possibility of a war with China over global economic control and the taking of Beijing. China has over 1 billion people and even if only 10% take up arms against an American invasion, that would be 100 million troops. That is a third of the entire U.S. population. The U.S. military will lose for certain in such an invasion of someone's homeland. But we are not talking about such a war. A real war with China will be fought outside China to control trade routes, resources, and economic influence. That is already happening via Tariffs, economic sanctions, and bioweapon attack known as Covid19.
2
@Kuro Usagi I know that based on your name. But you don't have to be American to have Anerican arrogance. That's because the American Empire controls the world view via their gigantic media reach from news outlets to Hollywood.
2
@jedrekkozbr9da938 NOT your decision but the decision of your Master, the U.S. Empire. NATO is a tool of the U.S. Empire for global conquest: https://youtu.be/O7KcutogvsA

@donaldtrumplover2254 Not how wars work? You are talking to a 20 year Veteran of the U.S. Air Force. I was an Executive Officer who sat in high level meetings with General Officers and SES discussing the logistics of wars. How about you? What credentials do you have? No, Call To Duty video game doesn't count!
2
@donaldtrumplover2254 And let's see what the guy who commanded NATO have to say about how powerful you think NATO is: "NATO is not prepared for war with Russia " - Former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe General Sir Richard Shirreff
2
@MrBell-iq3sm Nope, you are. How do I know that? Because if Ukraine is winning, then why does Zelinsky keeps begging for more weapons? Why is NATO trying to assemble 300,000 troops to send to the Polish and Finnish borders? Why did U.S. House of Representatives introduced a Bill 2 weeks ago to AUTOMATICALY register men 18 - 26 into the Selective Service? (Next step is activating the Draft) NATO is having a very hard time raising troops because the people of Europe don't want to fight Russia. Also, Turkey announced they are not contributing their troops yet Turkey has the biggest military in NATO. Russia is losing, right? Why do all that if Russia is losing? Why even send F-16's if Russia is losing? Use your brain to connect the dots. Don't believe anything anyone claims, ESPECIALLY mainstream U.S. media (which are paid by the U.S. government)!
2
@leoschmain Those missiles didn't just hit two hangars but outdoor locations on that military base as well as surrounding areas When I said "Air assets", I didn't just mean F-35's but also support equipment as well as ammo. Bottom line: 181 missiles must have done SOME damage. Again, is the damage big enough to prevent Israel from responding with full force? We don't know at this point. But to claim zero damage is a telltale sign of a lie. No such thing as an attack resulting in zero damage.
2
If the F-22 is so much better than what China has, the USAF wouldn't retire it so early to make room for its replacement. We must admit the truth - China is catching up fast!
2
@Eskalante Lol....lets see how hypocritical your argument is: Cuba joined Soviet Communist by their own free will in 1962 also. Why was the U.S. up in arms when the Soviets placed nukes in Cuba then? Cuba is NOT part of the U.S. Ukraine is NOT part of the U.S. or NATO! Just a few months ago, why did the U.S. tell China that if they buy land in Argentina to put their military base there, the U.S. will attack Argentina? Yet, Argentina is 3,000 miles away from the mainland U.S. Ukraine is next door to Russia. Now, do you understand? If you still refuse to get it, then publish your address so gangs can camp out next to your house with AR-15. Let's see if you won't act like Putin then. Go ahead, what is your address?

That tells me our adversaries (Russia and China) had matched or exceeded the F-22 technology. Time to bring out our UFOs!

@carterkinkelaar7636 I don't consider pulling out before you are "done" a win - in anything!! Not a manly thing to do, is it? Almost $1 trillion and over 20,000 dead American soldiers, yet the Taliban is taking back control. In a few years, they will launch terror attacks on American soil again. Tell me, what have we achieved in Afghanistan? What did we achieve in the Vietnam War?
1
@greasyflab3180 So? 58,000 Americans is STILL dead! It STILL cost American taxpayers $600 billion (to use your number)! For what? The North Vietnamese Communists STILL took over Vietnam.....and they are STILL in charge! And what will be worse about Afghanistan is that the Taliban will now be able to train terrorists unabated.....and they will resume their attacks on America. Again, what did we accomplish there?
1
@greasyflab3180 Our powerful military does not need to be defended. It's the MIS-USE of our military that had caused so much losses and pain for our country and the world. And because of that world conquest mentality by the evil men controlling our government behind the scenes, our country now faces collapse (in case you haven't noticed). Our military is for defense, not offense.
1
@greasyflab3180 I understand...our troops are our national treasure. They are superb men and women who sacrifice a lot for our freedom. That is why I get angry to find out that our government had mis-used them for corporate gain. If only more Americans realize this.

@larryvu9784 China created Covid19 or did the U.S.? https://www.newsweek.com/dr-fauci-backed-controversial-wuhan-lab-millions-us-dollars-risky-coronavirus-research-1500741?amp=1 Where is the evidence that China did?
1
@soulzy3596 Yet, it couldn't win Vietnam nor Afghanistan. Military might could only guarantee victory in battles, it does NOT win wars. War is won by the commitment of the entire society in question. America is too fractured to win any war right now. https://youtu.be/OW52qqlQiJQ

@soulzy3596 The British Empire once had the most powerful military in the world also. All Empires eventually fall....and they usually collapse from the inside out (no foreign military action needed). Again: https://youtu.be/VXYsGuBdzM4

@Moist Ointment Wrong. When the Soviets collapsed in 1990, their counterpart to NATO, the Warsaw Pact, also dissolved. Hence, there was no need for NATO to exist anymore! In fact, look up the reason why NATO was created in the first place - to counter SOVIET EXPANSION (because Soviet doctrine dictated that they must expand). Where was the threat when the Warsaw Pact was no more? No more Soviets - no more threats! Not only that, did you know that the U.S. promised Soviet leaders at the time that if they make Russia a democracy, the U.S. won't expand NATO? Yep, the EXACT words from the U.S. was, "Not an inch more". But guess what happened after the Soviets dissolved? The U.S. added 7 MORE COUNTRIES into NATO membership. The U.S. LIED!! But so what, right? They just want to feel secure, right? Wrong again! The U.S. began placing missiles in those 7 countries that are closer to Russia's border. Then the U.S. announced they will no longer abide by the Anti-ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty. Do you know what that means? That means the U.S. is no longer restricted from using ABM to threaten Russia. Alarmed, Russia had no choice but to draw a line at Ukraine because if not, Ukraine will join NATO and the U.S..will place missiles in there right next to Russia. It is like holding a gun to someone's head. What would you do if someone holds a gun to your head? This is what Putin is trying to prevent: https://youtu.be/XWuAct1BxHU

@Ax.F-125 LoL....yeah, just like Saddam Hussein slept with aliens and ate babies for breakfast, right? And that's why self-appointed righteous Americans must bomb Iraq and kill over 200,000 Iraqi civilians, right? You fell for U.S. propaganda every single time!
1
@Ax.F-125 Still believe in that lie, huh? And who do you think he got those chemical weapons from? Why, it's your beloved and arrogant U.S. Empire, of course! FACT: the U.S. GAVE Saddam chemical weapons in the 1970's to fight Iran. At that time, Saddam was a friend of the U.S. But when Saddam tried to introduce a new currency for oil trade instead of the U.S. Dollar, the U.S. made him the enemy and destroyed all chemical weapons and buried them in the desert. That's what makes you think he had WMD. He USED TO when he was a friend of the U.S. But not by the time the U.S. invaded him, he didn't anymore. If he did, wouldn't you think he would have used it to save himself from being captured and executed by the U.S.? Use your brain!

@TorianTammas The sky is blue no matter who's there to say so. You just deny the truth because you can't handle the truth. So you badmouth the messenger.

@lulujrlaulom7905 That's the real world. Proof that military might alone is no guarantee of victory.
1
@corieydadon Did I say the U.S. lost? The U.S. GAVE UP, which is even more cowardly shameful than to stay and fight to the end! Fact: the U.S. military won MOST EVERY battle in Afghanistan and Vietnam. That proves that U.S. military personnel are brave and heroic. It's the damn civilian politicians in charge that are cowardice.
1
If anyone uses nuclear weapons first, it will be the U.S. Why? Because China has 1.4 billion people upon which to draw their troops from, the only way to stop that many troops is to use Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). Just 10% of China's population will yield 140 million troops - that's almost 50% of the entire U.S. population! Luckily, China is not interested in taking the U.S. mainland, so they won't attack the U.S. first.
1
LoL, that's what Ukraine has been doing by using MiGs against the Russians. No wonder 300,000 to 400,000 Ukrainian troops have been killed.
1
@donaldtrumplover2254 You've been watching too many Rambo movies. Come back and talk to me when you have spent 20 years in the military to see first hand the logistics of war.
1
@bigbobabc123 Sounds like you got that from mainstream U.S. media, which was paid by the government to run fake stories in order to give the impression Ukraine is winning. I got my numbers from INDEPENDENT military analysts who are NOT paid in any way by the U S. government nor Military Industrial Complex (therefore can be objective): 1) U S. Army former Tank Commander in Iraq Colonel Douglas MacGreggor. He also has a PhD in International Studies 2) U.S. Marine Corps Lt Col Scott Ritter who was the UN Nuclear Weapons Inspector (who found no WMD in Iraq hence, the government hated him.) 3) Columbia University Professor of Economics Jeffrey Sach who was hired by the U.S. government to help rebuild East Germany's economy after the Soviets fell in 1990. 4) Ex-CIA Agent Larry Johnson 5) U S. Army Colonel Larry Wilkerson who was Chief of Staff for General Colin Powell They ALL said Russia CANNOT be defeated. Look them up and watch what they say.
1
@rungfang27 Doesn't matter what I claim, look up factual information from military analysts NOT connected to the government or military industrial complex. You must use your brain to connect the dots using FACTUAL EVIDENCE. Don't just believe what you see or hear, ESPECIALLY on mainstream media! Gauge it...look it up from many DIFFERENT sources....use logic!!
1
@rungfang27 Look up what I said to gauge against what other veterans said, especially independent combat vets like U.S. Army Colonel.Douglas MacGreggor. Don't believe me - don't believe anyone until to gauge it with FACTUAL data.
1
@rungfang27 US Army Colonel MacGreggor has been saying for months that Ukraine lost 600,000. Now, you see that Zelinsky said Ukraine only has 300,000 on the front line and what happened to the other 600k? Hmmm ....I wonder where they are? What did MacGreggor say for months? Therefore, you must believe MacGreggor because what he said is now revealed to be true. See how that works?

@finsfan90 I know...I was just being sarcastic (hence the emoji). Truth is, Empires emerge and fall throughout human history. The Roman Empire lasted 2,000 years. The British took only 400 years before they fell. Now, the U.S. Empire is about to fall after only 60 years of global conquest...... ....to make room for the Chinese Empire. But the U.S. would not cede power without a fight so we are in for some serious bloodshed (to include WWIII!)
1
This is changing. Saudi Arabia is beginning to buy Chinese made missile defense systems because the U.S. Patriot system is outdated and has failed to protect their oil fields in several occasions. Once Chinese fighter jets have had their chance in real combat, countries will switch to buying Chinese-made jets.
